On my way to see Cirque du Soleil, I stopped off at Artisanal Fromagerie-Bistro-Wine Bar for a wonderful dinner. While looking at the menu and enjoying a smooth, rich glass of a Tempranillo Rioja we ordered the cheese plate. Starting off with the bloomy, buttery and fluffy Fougeros (pronounced FOO-zher-roo), the rest of the dinner had a hard time keeping up with the cheeses complexity and aromatic flavors. The restaurant sells all of the cheeses they have on their menu, so of course, I had to buy a piece to share with the people I love. The second time I had it, I enjoyed it with a glass of sparkling Cuvee. I think the Cuvee was a better choice with the Fougeros, complementing and not overpowering the richness of both. Keeping with tradition, a piece of fern is placed on every wheel of cheese. Yum!
